YouTube career
In YuB's interview with VoyageDallas, YuB states "I have been making little YouTube videos for fun since 2005 – skateboarding, drumming, stuff like that. In January 2014, I decided to start making some video game playthrough videos because I saw that it was getting popular and people were earning money that way. Sounded like a win-win to me, as I’ve always enjoyed video game as well as creating videos to make people laugh. I pitched it to my wife (girlfriend at the time) as a hobby that could end up paying my phone bill if I worked hard at it – paying the phone bill was actually my end goal for how much money I could possibly earn!" On August 17th of 2018, YuB quit his job at a Guitar Center warehouse to do YouTube full-time. He states in the interview that "Thus far, I’d definitely have to say my proudest moment was quitting my day job for YouTube. It was incredibly validating after four straight years of working hard on the channel every day with NO breaks."
